Ok so I admit i was really slow getting in on the whole docker thing. But I've been running things like transmission etc in it and was like "ok that's cool. not groundbreaking, but cool".... but my 9 year old mac mini that was running crashplan died a couple days ago... and I finally started tinkering with the crashplan docker image.... all I can say is "OMG you are a freaking god!" "a docker image with a VNC server? and I can just use the entire app in a web browser?"... my mind is a little blown right now (and I realize how out of touch i am with some of the more current tech)... anyway thanks!

Having trouble with the UNRAID plugin. running: 6.0-beta5a Any ideas?

We'll I finally got an official APC serial cable. (stupid proprietary cables!!!!!!) If you plug a regular serial cable into an APC it automatically shuts off Anyway I got apcupsd working on the unraid server and it shuts the computer down after about 5 min of no power. I also got my Ubuntu server listening to the apcupsd on the unraid server so they both shut down and then the UPS turns off! success!!!! I'm attaching my apcupsd.conf file from my ubuntu server in case anyone wants to see it. Possibly pertinent info: My Unraid server is on ip: 10.0.0.11 My Ubuntu server is on: 10.0.0.5 I basically just followed tips form this post for my ubnutu box: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/SuSE/2008-12/msg00048.html apcupsd on ubuntu just listens for the UPS status on: UPSTYPE net DEVICE 10.0.0.11:3551 and configured my unraid server to use the serial port for apcupsd within unmenu. apcupsd.conf

All my UPS's came to me not new. I bought "dead" UPS's that just needed new batteries :-D and the rack-mount one was from a business that isn't around anymore.... and consequentially no cables.... Never really bothered with status cable much.... mostly just used UPS's to prevent brownouts and blips from the grid.... but now with unRAID a not clean shutdown matters more.

I dont have a serial->usb cable... radio shack wanted to charge $40 for it! Amazon should be delivering a serial cable today.

Well, radioshack didn't have a serial cable all they had was a usb -> serial cable and they wanted to charge $40 for it!!!!!!! I ended up buying a couple of 9pin ends and ripping apart a vga cable and turning it into a 9pin serial.... but allas my wiring skills evidentially suck, because as soon as I plug it into the APC and any of the servers the APC shuts off and refuses to start until I unplug the serial cable. Have to order a new cable form amazon and will tackle this in a couple days, once it shows up.

Well I found a serial header bracket in my box of parts... evidentially at some point there was a great purge of all things LPT and serial in my cable box though.... all I found was a million VGA cables. Wonder if radio shack still sells stuff like that? I guess I'll go see.

When you crack that one, please let me know how! I can see all the ups status and graphs on my ubuntu desktop, but I cannot find the way to get it to shutdown! I was just reading through this post: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/SuSE/2008-12/msg00048.html We'll see tonight if that's of any help.... Can't play around too much until I make it home and get the serial cable connected to the UPS.

apcupsd already broadcasts the UPS status on the LAN. All you need do is also install apcupsd on the ubuntu box and set it to listen to the LAN. Sweet! Thanks I'll play around tonight and let you know how it goes.

Good point... didn't event think to check for MB header. It's an old ASRock P4Dual-915GL... looks like it has a com header. I'm betting one of my boxes of spare parts probably even has a serial to header to back pannel bracket. I'll look tonight. Any ideas on getting the Ubuntu server shutting down as well?

I have an APC rackmount SmartUPS 1000 that is powering both my unraid server and a ubuntu 10.04 server. I would like to get the unMENU Clean Powerdown addon working. Here is my dilemma.... My SmartUPS1000 only has a serial port and a slot for the network add-on. My unRAID motherboard doesn't have a serial port... just USB and LPT (built the server out of parts laying around in old boxes, and threw into an old 4u cheap rackmount case). My Ubuntu server is a real 1u server and has a serial port, LTP, USB etc.... Any suggestions on getting them both powering down cleanly off of the APC status? I'm happy to buy the network module for the APC but does that clean powerdown add-on have any idea how to read the APC status via the network? Having the unRAID server power down cleanly is more important than the Ubuntu server. So if I can't get unRAID to read the APC network module, would the powerdown add-on work with a USB->Serial or LPT->Serial cable? Or am I better off just looking for a MB / CPU combo? The current unRAID system is running off an old Intel P4 3GHz...but unRAID isn't exactly CPU intensive so it's chugging along fine.

Thanks for the tip Joe on the 5K3000 not being an "advanced format drive" I guess I assumed that all new 2TB-3TB drives were like the WD's.... no idea why I assumed that. Guess I've just been living in a WD world for too long. (We use a ton of WD drives and Drobo's at work). Guess I'll just swap the 5K3000 in as the parity drive once it's finished it's preclear and let unraid rebuild parity. Then preclear the WD20EARS as a 4k drive and replace WD5000AAKS with it and unraid rebuild the data onto it. Then assign the WD5000AAKS as the Cache drive. Sound reasonable? Thanks for tolerating us NUBs!!!!

A couple months ago I set up my first unraid box and am thrilled with it. I have it playing nicely with all my OS X and Linux boxes. When I first started playing with it I just downloaded the trial 4.7 and threw in 3 drives I had around: WD Blue - WD6400AAKS WD Blue - WD5000AAKS WD Green - WD10EARS After deciding I liked unraid, I picked up a WD20EARS and put it in as a parity drive. I didn't do any preclears, but the first three drives had been in use for a while previously. I picked up a Hitachi Deskstar 5K3000 2TB yesterday and my goal is to replace one of the WD Blues and use the Blue as a Cache drive. I started the preclear on the Deskstar last night but didn't set the 4k flag (I'll set the flag on the next preclear). So here are my questions... If I set the MBR 4K flag in the unraid web interface what will it do to my current data drives? Should I swap the Deskstar in as the parity drive after it's formated as 4k and then preclear the WD20EARS as a 4k drive and swap the WD20EARS in as a replacement for the Blue? If the 4k flag is set in the unraid interface, how will that affect the WD Blue when I set it as the cache drive? So many questions... this 4k stuff has my head spinning.

Cool thanks for the quick reply. That was my guess. I'll just: -drop the new 2TB drive in my OS X box, -copy the data over from XBMC and move the 1TB drive into the unRAID array, -then migrate the data back to the unRAID server, -and add the 2TB drive as the parity drive. [sOLVED]

Another NUB with questions... sorry. I have an existing XBMCLive system that has a 1TB data only drive in it formated ext3 full of movies and TV shows. This week I started putting together my unRAID server using parts mostly laying around. I have unRAID 4.7 up and running with 2 drives 650GB and 500GB, no parity drive yet. I've been using it all week as a target drive for crashplan off of 2 computers... 1 running OS X (NFS) and a Win7 (SMB) and it's running great so far! I have a 2TB drive on the way to use as a parity drive. Can I just pickup my 1TB ext3 XBMC data drive and put it in unRAID somehow without a format? Or do I need to migrate the data off the drive before adding it to the unRAID array; then migrate the data back once the drive has been added and formated by unRAID?
